How can you access, amend or take back the personal data that you have provided to us?

One of the GDPR's main objectives is to protect and clarify the rights of EU citizens and individuals in the EU with regards to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data, even once you have given it to us. These are described in more detail below.

 

Even if we already hold your personal data, you still have various rights in relation to it. To get in touch about the personal data we hold for you please contact in with us on info@dealtechno.co

 

We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event in accordance with the requirements of any applicable laws. Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.

 

Right to object: 

This right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following four reasons: (i) our “legitimate interests”; (ii) to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority; (iii) to send you direct marketing materials; and (iv) for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes.

 

The "legitimate interests" and "direct marketing" categories above are the ones most likely to apply to our website users, candidates, clients and suppliers.

 

If your objection relates to us processing your personal data because we deem it necessary for your legitimate interests, we must act on your objection by ceasing the activity in question unless:

 

We can show that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which overrides your interests; or

 

We are processing your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

 

If your objection relates to direct marketing, we must act on your objection by ceasing this activity.

 

Right to withdraw consent: 

Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (for example, for our marketing arrangements or automatic profiling), you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to carry out the particular activity that you previously consented to unless we consider that there is an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose in which case we will inform you of this condition.

 

Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR): 

You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive". If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.

​

Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding data subject access requests and may refuse your request in accordance with such laws.

 

Right to erasure: 

You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances. Normally, the information must meet one of the following criteria:

 

The data are no longer necessary for the purpose for which we originally collected and/or processed them;

 

Where previously given, you have withdrawn your consent to us processing your data, and there is no other valid reason for us to continue processing;

 

The data has been processed unlawfully (i.e. in a manner which does not comply with the GDPR);

 

It is necessary for the data to be erased in order for us to comply with our legal obligations as a data controller; or

 

If we process the data because we believe it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests, you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for our continued processing.

 

Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding data subject right to erasure and may refuse your request in accordance with local laws.

 

We would only be entitled to refuse to comply with your request for one of the following reasons:

 

• To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;

• To comply with legal obligations or for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority;

  • For public health reasons in the public interest;

  • For archival, research or statistical purposes; or

  • To exercise or defend a legal claim.

 

When complying with a valid request for the erasure of data we will take all reasonably practicable steps to delete the relevant data.

 

Right to restrict processing: 

You have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that we can only continue to store your data and will not be able to carry out any further processing activities with it until either: (i) one of the circumstances listed below is resolved; (ii) you consent; or (iii) further processing is necessary for either the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, the protection of the rights of another individual, or reasons of important EU or Member State public interest.

 

The circumstances in which you are entitled to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data are:

• Where you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we are processing about you. In this case, our processing of your personal data will be restricted for the period during which the accuracy of the data is verified;

• Where you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests.

• Here, you can request that the data be restricted while we verify our grounds for processing your personal data;

• Where our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer us to restrict our processing of it rather than erasing it; and

• Where we have no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

 

If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will, of course, notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data.

 

Right to rectification:

You also have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Where appropriate, we will also tell you which third parties we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data to. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.

 

Right of data portability: 

If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal data between data controllers. In effect, this means that you are able to transfer your account details to another online platform. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format that is password-protected so that you can transfer the data to another online platform. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you. This right of data portability applies to: (i) personal data that we process automatically (i.e. without any human intervention); (ii) personal data provided by you; and

(iii) personal data that we process based on your consent or in order to fulfil a contract.

Our legal bases for processing your data

 

legitimate interests

Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is the one that is relevant here – it says that we can process your data where it "is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data."

 

Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, a different legal basis for data processing might apply in certain cases.

 

Candidate data:

We think it's reasonable to expect that if you are looking for employment or have posted your professional CV information on a job board or professional networking site, you are happy for us to collect and otherwise use your personal data to offer or provide our recruitment services to you, share that information with prospective employers and assess your skills against our bank of vacancies. 

 

Once it's looking like you may get the job, your prospective employer may also want to double check any information you've given us (such as the results from psychometric evaluations or skills tests) or to confirm your references, qualifications and criminal record, to the extent that this is appropriate and in accordance with local laws. We need to do these things so that we can function as a profit-making business, and to help you and other candidates get the jobs you deserve.

 

We want to provide you with tailored job recommendations and relevant articles to read to help you on your job hunt. We therefore think it's reasonable for us to process your data to make sure that we send you the most appropriate content.
 

We also think that it might help with your job search if you take part in our specialist online training or some of our more interactive services, if you have the time. These are part of our service offering as a business, and help differentiate us in a competitive marketplace, so it is in our legitimate interests to use your data for this reason.

 

We have to make sure our business runs smoothly, so that we can carry on providing services to candidates like you. We therefore also need to use your data for our internal administrative activities, like payroll and invoicing where relevant.

 

We have our own obligations under the law, which it is a legitimate interest of ours to insist on meeting! If we believe in good faith that it is necessary, we may therefore share your data in connection with crime detection, tax collection or actual or anticipated litigation.

 

Client data:

To ensure that we provide you with the best service possible, we store your personal data and/or the personal data of individual contacts at your organisation as well as keeping records of our conversations, meetings, registered jobs and placements. From time to time, we may also ask you to undertake a customer satisfaction survey. We think this is reasonable – we deem these uses of your data to be necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation providing various recruitment services to you.

 

Supplier data:

We use and store the personal data of individuals within your organisation in order to facilitate the receipt of services from you as one of our suppliers. We also hold your financial details, so that we can pay you for your services. We deem all such activities to be necessary within the range of our legitimate interests as a recipient of your services.

 

PEOPLE WHOSE DATA WE RECEIVE FROM CANDIDATES AND STAFF, SUCH AS REFEREES AND EMERGENCY CONTACTS:

 

If you have been put down by a candidate or a prospective member of staff as one of their referees, we use your personal data in order to contact you for a reference. This is a part of our quality assurance procedure and so we deem this to be necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation offering recruitment services and employing people ourselves.

 

If a candidate or staff member has given us your details as an emergency contact, we will use these details to contact you in the case of an accident or emergency. We are sure you will agree that this is a vital element of our people-orientated organisation, and so is necessary for our legitimate interests.
 

Consent:

In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data in relation to certain activities. Depending on exactly what we are doing with your information, this consent will be opt-in consent or soft opt-in consent.

 

Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is "any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her." In plain language, this means that:

 

• You have to give us your consent freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure;

• You have to know what you are consenting to – so we'll make sure we give you enough information;

• You should have control over which processing activities you consent to and which you don’t. We provide these finer controls within our privacy preference centre; and

• You need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent – we're likely to provide a tick box for you to check so that this requirement is met in a clear and unambiguous fashion.

 

We will keep records of the consents that you have given in this way.

 

We have already mentioned that, in some cases, we will be able to rely on soft opt-in consent. We are allowed to market products or services to you which are related to the recruitment services we provide as long as you do not actively opt-out from these communications.

 

• Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding consenting to receive marketing materials.

• As we have mentioned, you have the right to withdraw your consent to these activities. You can do so at any time, and details of how to do so are the following

 

Right to withdraw consent: 

Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (for example, for our marketing arrangements or automatic profiling), you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to carry out the particular activity that you previously consented to unless we consider that there is an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose in which case we will inform you of this condition.
 

Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR): 

You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive". If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.

 

How you can get in touch with us:

To access, amend or take back the personal data that you have given to us;

 

If you suspect any misuse or loss of or unauthorised access to your personal information;

 

To withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data (where consent is the legal basis on which we process your personal data); with any comments or suggestions concerning this Privacy Policy You can write to us at the following address:
